No crying leaving Argentina...........until I landed in the uk anyway!






Hi there well i have had some photo's kindly emailed to me from friends I made in B. Aries. As most people know now I'm back home in the UK but don't like to leave any unfinished business.


I spent the last week of my travels 'trying' to learn some Spanish and staying in thins beautiful 'Casa' with an elderly couple called Generaldo and Maria Martez. They where so kind and so helpful and really looked after every student in their house in an individual way. As you can see from the photo's above it is amazing, 75 years old and a traditional house of BA. They had a Parrot, Cats and the oldest most gentle dog in the world who was always asleep! (see pic) I will one day return to South America and do it all but that will take a year in its self. Argentina is massive. Buenous Aries is one of the biggest cities in the world and you get lost everyday, even when sober. It has the highest plastic surgery rate in the world and all the Women are in competition with each other to get the best man. The society is that if you can pull the man or woman you want, than you can have them, this is if you are in a relationship, married or not. I find it quite sad that most thins seemed to be superficial but out of the city people are supposed to be more relaxed and real. So these are the people I want to meet, obviously.
Well until the next time I can afford a trip of a life time it's back to the day job but if you do see me note the extra twinkle in my eye, if I'm not smiling just whisper the word Africa.
Thanks for being there and reading.
Love Karen x
